The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (杜卡魯塞爾凱旋門) is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel on the site of the former Tuileries Palace. It was built between 1806 and 1808 to commemorate Napoleon’s military victories of the previous year. The more famous Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile nearby was designed in the same year, but it took thirty years to build, and it is about twice as massive [source]
After visiting Musée du Louvre & Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, we proceeded our journey to La Place Vendome(凡登廣場), Jardin des Tuileries(杜乐丽花园) & Place de la Concorde (協和廣場)!
